DST initiative launched 

 Union Minister for Science & Technology Dr. Harsh Vardhan launched a new scheme “SERB-POWER (Promoting Opportunities for Women in Exploratory Research)” yesterday. The scheme was designed to encourage the functionality of women researchers in the field of science and technology. The SERB (Science and Engineering Research Board) is a statutory body under the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The main idea of this scheme is to reduce the prevailing gender disparities that are present in our society in terms of academic research.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan said that women scientists and researchers should be given more space to dismiss the disparities and to encourage them to come forward in promoting women fellowship and empowerment. The motive of this initiative is to empower women researchers by funding them accordingly.   Professors Ashutosh Sharma, Sandeep Verma attended the launch of the initiative.
